Verizon’s Samsung Fascinate has finally received its serving of Gingerbread. After many, many months, if you still own a Fascinate you’ve got something to be happy about. That is, of course, unless you know that Gingerbread simply isn’t the latest Android version anymore.

But hey, at least you’re getting an update. Or about to. According to Android Police, the EH03 Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the Fascinate has started rolling out and should hit your device via OTA. That said, it’s quite possible that this rollout is staggered, so if you don’t see the update just yet, don’t panic. It will probably arrive in the next few days. You can try to manually check for it via the Settings menu.

Alongside the Gingerbread bits, the update also comes with new widgets, icons, and colors, some new calendar options, contact searching via last name, and MMS delivery reports have been added.

All the necessary info is contained in this handy PDF that Verizon put out.
